President Roosevelt asks Postmaster General Meyer to look into the matter of Thomas J. Ford, who he has heard is an honest person and should not lose his job in the San Francisco Post Office. Roosevelt also asks Meyer to speak with Senator Porter J. McCumber and United States Representative Asle J. Gronna about the postmaster of Milton, North Dakota, as he would like Meyer’s advice on the issue.
